A resource for helping each other to grow and be the best we can be. 

A lot of personal and professional growth happens through partnerships, and we know that cultivating personal and professional growth is a key part of building a thriving culture. As part of this, we’re putting a spotlight on our mentorship scheme! 

The mentorship scheme launched earlier this year, gives a chance for Creditsafe staff to connect with a mentor in the company who can offer experience, guidance and advice; think of them as a thought-partner who can help you to get the most from your work, career, and personal development.  

Whether you are looking for guidance on navigating your career path or want a proven partner for your professional development, the scheme offers a meaningful resource for helping you to get from where you are, to where you want to be.  

How Does Mentoring Work? 

Our mentoring programme is designed to give a supportive channel where employees can connect with experienced mentors who are keen to share their knowledge and expertise. It’s not essential for staff to be in the same line of work as their mentors, as we understand that sometimes it’s great to get a different perspective. Particularly when it comes to areas such as leadership skills, personal development and general career development advice. 

The Mentors who have offered their support are equipped with years of experience, strong leadership and communication skills, and a genuine passion for helping others. In fact, many credit the role that their mentors played in their own career development!  

Through regular meetings, mentors and mentees work together to set goals, discuss their progress, and exchange constructive feedback together. 

Benefits of Mentoring 

Here’s what the research has to say on the benefits mentorship offers to individuals and companies:  

  • About 90% of employees with a career mentor report being happy at work, and 75% of executives credit their success to having mentors. 
  • 92% of Fortune 500 companies have mentorship programmes, and these companies often experience workforce growth, while those without such programmes tend to see a decline.

“I was unsure about my partnership at first but having had a few sessions with that person, I've found it to be really valuable. They are a completely different person to me so the way they approach problems and scenarios is completely different to how I would typically handle them. Putting their suggestions into practice has been really helpful.”

“It is massively benefiting my development so far. I have had 3 sessions with my mentor and I have learnt a huge amount particularly around time management which is aiding my productivity. Another area I was hoping for some guidance in was building confidence in the work place and I have been given some great guidance on this and already seen this improve in some areas.
